Dec 8 Eligible Works for Dead End Follies' 2016 Year-End's Best Reads

It's already the end of 2016, which has been another (perhaps the most) frantic reading year on this blog. Once again, I've read way too much, gave the books way too little thought, but I've had favorites and it'll soon be time to reward the absolute best I've had the pleasure to read. The structure will be the same this year as it was in 2014 and 2015, two lists of ten standout books: the very best of and the notables (the almost very best of).

Dead End Follies' Notable Reads of 2016: Singling out books that stood out and deserved mention, yet weren't quite the very best my year had to offer. Will be announced on December 15.

Dead End Follies' Best Reads of 2016:Singling out the books that were my absolute favorites of the year. Will be announced on December 20.

Here is the list of eligible works for this year. The last two aren't finished yet, but they will be by the time I publish my notables. There will be 146 eligible books this year, more than for any other year in this blog's seven years of existence. Click on the available links to read my reviews:
